IMPROVEMENT IN HORSE-POWERS.

Specification forming part of Letters Patent No. 122,989, dated January23, 1872.

To all whom it may concern:

Be it known that I, N. B. BROWN, of Antwerp, in the county of Jeffersonand in the State of New York, have invented certain new and usefulImprovements in Horse-Power 5 and do hereby declare that the followingis a full, clear, and exact description thereof, reference being had tothe accoimaanying drawing and to the letters of reference marked thereonmaking a part of this specification.

The nature of my invention consists in the construction and arrangementof a horse-power for running a churn or other light machin- ,ery, aswill be hereinafter more fully set forth.

In order to enable others skilled in the art to which my inventionappertains to make and use the same, I will now proceed to describe itsconstruction and operation, referring to the annexed drawing, in which-Figure 1 is a plan View, and Fig. 2 a side View, part in section, of myhorsepower.

A represents a frame, of wood or iron, to which are bolted the castingswhich support the entire horse-power. B is a circular flange or plateprovided with a hollow upright post, B in the center. This post has ashoulder, 01, around its circumference, upon which the hub G of thelarge gear-wheel D rests. The hub O is elongated, as shown in Fig. 2, soas to cause the gear to run true and steady. The plate B, with thehollow post 13 and a long casting, B are all cast in one piece andbolted to the frame A. In the casting B is a stud, 1), upon which hangsthe gear and pinion E, said gear meshing with a pinion, Gr, upon a longshaft, H, which has its bearings in the casting B and a separatecasting, B The shaft II should, upon its outer end, be provided with apulley to connect with the machinery to be driven by the power. On theupper end of the hub O is fitted a casting, I, upon which the sweep orlever is attached.

Having thus fully described my invention, what I claim as new, anddesire to secure by Letters Patent, is-

The withindescribed horse-power, consisting of the frame A, plate B,hollow post B with shoulder a, elongated hub O, gear-wheel D, castings BB and I, gear and pinion E, pinion G, and shaft H, all substantially asand for the purposes herein set forth.

In testimony that I claim the foregoing I have hereunto set my hand this13th day of July, 1871.

N. B. BROWN.
